Lady Gaga ban lifted

A ban on Lady Gaga’s Born This Way album in Lebanon has been lifted following fan protests in the Middle Eastern state.
The record, which topped charts across the world upon its release in May, was stopped from going on sale in Lebanon after officials in the conservative country impounded a shipment of the CDs on moral grounds.

Lebanese fans slammed the move and pointed out they could still listen to the hits online, so authorities have now decided to let the record become available to buy.

A statement from the country’s General Security Directorate says, “The CD has received approval for entry and distribution in Lebanon.”
